Biography

South Africa-born batsman du Toit joined Leicestershire in 2008 as a Kolpak signing. Despite being used primarily as a limited-overs specialist in his first two seasons with the club, he was one of the few imports to be retained when Leicestershire opted to give more home-grown players a chance. He enjoyed his best season to date in 2010, averaging 47 in the LV= County Championship and 40 in the Clydesdale Bank 40, before signing a new two-year contract.
